Notary Public Montana

Yes, the will's signer is required by law to personally appear before the notary throughout the notarization process. However, the law is flexible enough to allow remote notarization in unavoidable situations. So, you can present yourself before the notary either physically or digitally. You’ll need two-way, real-time audio and video communication if you want your documents notarized remotely.

If the notary does not know you personally, they will require a signed government-issued ID with your photograph. Examples include any state ID, a driving permit, a passport, student ID, or military identification. Identification methods such as credit cards, bank cards, and government-issued IDs without pictures (such as Medicare and Social Security cards) are insufficient to serve as primary identifiers. As a result, you might need to present more than one form of identification to prove your identity.

Yes, Montana is another state that accepts remote internet notarization (RON) if the subject of the notarization resides inside Montana’s boundaries. Typically, there is a fee associated with these services.

The notarial certificate is finished at the same time as the notarial act. It contains the following details:
Venue: The county and state where the notarization was performed.
Statement of Particulars: A declaration that specifies the kind of notarial act, the date, and the signer.
Notary’s Official Signature and Seal: The certificate will be endorsed with the notary's wet or electronic signature.
When a document is notarized, a notary public confirms that the signature on it is that of the signer. Notaries attest to the legitimacy of signatures and issue a notarial certificate at the end of the verification process.
